Wellness Advisory Board

Genesis PURE has two teams of highly dedicated professionals who stay current on nutrition trends, science, and technology to ensure the premium quality of our products. The Wellness Advisory Board (WAB) is comprised of five seasoned healthcare professionals, 4 physicians and one pharmacist, who provide ongoing guidance on product development, product claims, and product use protocols. The Product Research & Development team is dedicated to quality nutritional product and formula development. Genesis PURE has recently launch a PURE Lifestyle Blog that they are all frequent guest authors for our articles.

“Genesis PURE exists to help create healthier, more fulfilling lives around the globe. Our Wellness Advisory Board plays a key role in helping us accomplish that,” said Bobby Love, President of Genesis PURE. “We are reaching a wonderful point where many traditional medical professionals are embracing high-quality nutritional products combined with healthier lifestyle choices to improve the overall health and wellness of their patients. Our Wellness Advisory Board will help to accelerate this movement - both inside and outside of the medical community”.
